The above-mentioned activities are vital approaches that will cultivate knowledge and hence these should be done in the classroom for learning to take place. Without implementing these approaches, learning could be difficult to achieve.

BRANCH OF PHILOSOPHY: AXIOLOGY
CHIEF TOPIC: VALUES, ETHICS, AND AESTHETICS

1.    Are students basically good or bad?
Students are greatly affected by the way they are raised, and what values they exhibiting reflects their past experiences. So, the question is subjective, answer might vary.

Golden rule. I will treat them the way they wanted to be treated.

We have set of norms which are influenced by our culture and values and when students are bounded by it, it could be a very goof evidence that they are treating me well and others.

A combination of both is necessary especially if you are an educator. There are instances that implementing punishment can best addressed students’ misbehavior and encouragement can be a good idea when you want to reinforce appropriate behaviors.


5.    What different understandings of “beautiful” might there be in my classroom?
You are inside the classroom packed with diverse learners and therefore the way they perceived beauty varies. I will borrow the beautiful quote which says “What is beautiful to you might not be beautiful to me” and hence beauty is really relative.
6.    What values should be taught in character education?
Set of values must be instilled and taught, not just few but all if possible. However, as an educator, one must be critical enough to understand what aspects of students that needs focus and attention.

Philippine Economy and the Philippines’ Rights over the West Philippine Sea and Duterte’s Inclination towards China

Philippine Economy and the Philippines’ Rights over the West Philippine Sea and Duterte’s Inclination towards China While the pro-China inclination of the Duterte administration is clear, there seems to be inconsistency in his actions and rhetoric. Is he clever enough to manage a strategy to optimize gains from the economic superpower? At the end of this, what does Duterte truly care about? In a 2016 survey, the majority of Filipinos (92%) still trusted the US more than China (24%). Despite Duterte's desire to adopt an independent foreign policy and distance himself from traditional allies like the US, critics argue that cutting ties from traditional allies does not equate to an independent foreign policy. Interestingly, his foreign policy is more inclined towards China, aiming to secure investments for infrastructure projects and access to lucrative export markets for Philippine goods (Woody, 2016). In 2016, Duterte was seen as playing off China and the US to get the best deals, b...

JETHRO A. ODOY, MAEd                                                                                       May 5, 2018 EdD-EM Social and Moral Philosophy Professor: Dr. Minerva Fabros Learning of the Week No.1 Morality is a quality of a thing manifesting its conformity or non-conformity with its norms or criteria.

Yes, indeed it is relative and the culture that was boun...

THE SCIENCE EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

-
Imahe
Science Education Curriculum nowadays is in the row of unending issues and concerns particularly the quality being offered by the schools and the teachers. The bane now is the fact that it yields to the production of not competitive graduates, unable to demonstrate the supposed scientific skills. This problem is a major challenge to all schools across the globe since the demand of highly competitive graduates is increasing, while the supply is endangered. One root cause of the decreasing number of science graduates is the fading perceived interest of the students to take science courses; perhaps this is due to the teachers who failed to demonstrate how interesting science is and how it plays a significant role in the society at large. The conundrum now is to strengthen science education through developing to the students the sense of valuing the significance of the latter scientific knowledge and skills as honed by the teachers in their lower years. It was noted however that the att...
